Question: 1 / 400

Necrotic pulp can result in?

Chronic periapical periodontitis

Necrotic pulp can result in chronic periapical periodontitis. This is a condition that results in inflammation and infection around the tooth's root, which can lead to bone loss and in if severe cases, tooth loss. The other options are incorrect as they do not present similar symptoms or complications to necrotic pulp. Acute periapical abscess refers to a severe infection of the tissue around the tooth's root, while pulpal hyperemia refers to increased blood flow in the inflamed pulp, and gingival recession is a condition where the gums gradually pull away from the teeth. None of these options are consequences of necrotic pulp.
